What Reviews Say

700 reviews analyzed

Dogtown is overwhelmingly praised by 85%+ of reviewers as a premium dog care facility with exceptional staff friendliness, excellent communication through 'pupdates', and a clean, well-equipped facility featuring an indoor pool. The majority of dogs appear genuinely excited to visit. However, a notable minority of reviews (approximately 8-10%) report serious issues including dogs returning sick, injuries during stays, grooming mishaps, and concerns about dogs being left in kennels too long. These negative reviews, while representing a small percentage, highlight potential safety and sanitation concerns that prospective customers should consider. The business responds professionally to nearly all negative reviews, though some customers report unsatisfactory resolutions.
